The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

"Master, this emperor is really generous." Yan Nian sighed, pointing to both sides of the street.

Looking around, the colorful squares continue one after another along the way, dotted with countless lantern squares, lamp buildings, lamp corridors, and dragon sheds: people's homes and various shops are all holding colorful incense cases and burning incense to pray for blessings.

A scene, very lively.

Even Yan Song, a local tyrant, felt stunned after seeing it.

All the way to the Meridian Gate, before the Meridian Gate, hundreds of officials have gathered.

Many ministers naturally brought gifts, but they were not as exaggerated as Yan Song and had to use a carriage to pull them.

With the arrival of Yan Song, the unique congratulatory gift of the carriage made all the officials waiting outside the Meridian Gate amazed, pointing and talking, and many officials from the DPRK and China gathered around Yan Song, deliberately to please, There are even those who want to join the strict party.

As for believing in them, Yan Song might as well draw out historical figures to form a team to be safe, so he refused.

Of course, some people sneered when they saw the 'big car' gift, thinking that Yan Song's gift of so much wealth was just a sign of his wealth.

Soon, the Meridian Gate opened.

Yan Song, the first assistant, went first, followed by the cabinet Zhang Bi, Xu Zan, Jiuqing, and then other honorable officials and officials.

However, at this time, Yan Song was stunned by the luxury in the palace.

I saw that inside the palace, there were craftsmen who used colored paintings, cloth, silk and other objects to make colored walls and galleries, and decorated the corridors in the palace with gorgeous colors. "Wan Nian" and other big characters appeared on the color wall.

...........

As for the small as a peach, the longevity flower, and the eternal youth, all of them deliberately seek the meaning of auspiciousness.At that time, inside and outside the capital, gold and blue splendid each other, brocades and qi juxtapose each other, lanterns and precious candles, mist and mist permeate the surrounding area; the Forbidden City and the Royal Garden are connected by embroidered curtains, Sheng and Songs play each other, gold and stones are a thousand sounds, clouds and clouds are colorful, when No one in the world can describe it to the fullest.

Yan Song sighed while watching.

Jiajing spent 80 taels of silver before and after for his birthday.Not to mention other things, just look at the colored walls and galleries made of silk and satin. If the palace is really spread all over the palace, it will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, not to mention the renovation inside the palace and the purchase outside the palace.

"It's really extravagant and extravagant, Jiajing is already on the road to the faint, and it's getting farther and farther."

Thinking that Jiangnan was still fighting the disaster at this time, and countless victims were in chaos, Yan Song shook his head secretly.

What Yan Song didn't know was that at this time there happened to be a county official from a remote area. This time, when he returned to the capital, he just returned to the city gate.

This person is called Hai Rui.

Where he was an official, the local people called him Hai Qingtian.

He has a tough temper. Historically, he went straight to the book and scolded Jiajing, almost angering Jiajing to death.

There are many, many stories about him.

Hai Rui is here, he's going to do something!

Chapter 63 Hai Rui's Sadness and Fury [2]

"Mother, you live here first..."

This time Hai Rui came to Beijing with his whole family, a white-haired old lady, and a hard-working and virtuous wife.

The place where he originally served as an official was in the southernmost part of Guangdong, and it was very remote. Normally, even if he died, he would not have the chance to enter Beijing. However, this time, the Ministry of Officials called him to Beijing for the first time, perhaps because of Hai Qingtian's The name played a role. Maybe he did a good job there and was appreciated by Shangguan, or maybe it was because Shangguan called him over for a special purpose.

"Son, don't contradict Shangguan, you need to change your bad temper..."

"Mother, my son knows."

"You, I don't know you yet? But it's fine in other places, but this is the capital, and there are no "one, two, seven" numbers for high officials. If you are like before, you will suffer."

"Mother, don't worry."

Hai Rui's mother~ Although she is old, her knowledge is extraordinary, and she knows that the water in the capital is too deep.

His daughter-in-law watched with a worried look on his face. To be honest, the whole family didn't want him to go to Beijing. After all, with Hai Rui's temper, it was estimated that something big would happen soon. There was no one to rely on here. Officials can kill Hai Rui.

It is worth mentioning that Hai Rui had placed his mother and daughter-in-law in the old city. There was no other way. Hai Rui was too poor, and it was enough to go to Beijing on salary.Originally, when he went to Beijing, the local parent officials gave him a lot of troubles, and he also hoped that Hai Rui could help the parents officials to talk. As a result, Hai Rui immediately postponed it, and even scolded him to bribe him, and even said that he would break up the relationship. The parent officials almost got angry. vomiting blood.

Hai Rui's character is 'straight' in a good way, and a lack of emotional intelligence in a bad way. In his perception, it is either white or black.But in history, he was able to become a high-ranking official, which was his good fortune.

The mother and daughter-in-law started to clean up the new house. It was very small, dark, and damp. This was the cheapest place in the outer city.

There is a little story that shows that Hai Rui's life was very poor. He wore cloth robes, ate coarse grains and brown rice, and let the old servants grow vegetables for self-sufficiency.Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province at that time, once told others: "Yesterday I heard that the magistrate of Hai wished my mother's birthday, so I only bought two catties of meat." And there were rumors in the streets at that time: "Wow, Mr. Hai actually sells meat, okay? Amazing!" Similar words show how miserable his economic situation is.

Hai Rui said goodbye to his mother and daughter-in-law, and then walked into the inner city.

However, he still heard a lot of news about building a new city, the emperor's longevity banquet and so on. All the way to the city gate of the inner city, Hai Rui asked the guards where the officers were.

"Are you going to the Ministry of Officials? What are you doing?" The gate guard asked because of his professional habit.

"I am the magistrate of a county, and now I am summoned by the Ministry of Personnel to report my duties in Beijing," Hai Rui said.

"It turned out to be the county magistrate..." When the gatekeeper heard this, he became very warm and polite. This turned out to be an official, and he had the opportunity to go to Beijing to report his work. Then he would definitely become a high-ranking official. Now You have to be familiar with it.

"My lord, you may not know that you have just arrived in the capital. Today is the day of the saint's longevity. Most of the officials have gone to the palace. As for the personnel department, there may be no one."

Hai Rui nodded, "I've heard of it, but I'm still going to have a look. There must be some people left behind, so I'll report there."

"Okay, I'll call you to lead the way." The gatekeeper hurriedly called an acquaintance: "Gouzi, take this adult to the Ministry of Officials." Then he whispered to Gouzi to let him go over the sea Rui's information may be able to get acquainted with a high-ranking official in the future.

Gouzi took Hai Rui to the official department, and he tried his best to tell all kinds of interesting things about the capital along the way.

But obviously Hai Rui didn't listen to what he said, because as soon as Hai Rui entered the inner city, he saw red cloth and satin all over the street, and even a lot of festive things hung on the trees.
